C# to Java Jump

Question

I am a c# coder which came up throught the ranks of vb,vfp,fox, and dbase... I am considering on making the jump over to java, to expand my skillset. I don't really see any books on making this jump. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on where to begin, and what to study.

Hmm...first and foremost, forget everything you've learned to love about LINQ. — Kirk Woll

Then forget everything you've learned about properties, indexers, events, structs, enums, generics, delegates, lambdas ... — dtb

Forget how you did your get {} and set{} in C# and learn java's getters/setters. :-) — Buhake Sindi

Java is very, very similar to C# (but no LINQ, badly implemented generics, better enums etc). I managed the jump in less than a day, using this information:

Hey buddy, c# and java are much similar, but java is less user friendly but more compatible infact its machine independent. But if you wanna earn money stay with c# and .net as they are going to be our industry future and earn more for us. As time is money and we easily make c# applications faster, so enjoy and stick with c#.

What do you mean exactly, "Java is less user friendly" ? Besides, it's not like JEE-jobs were hard to find.

Your answer might be accurate financially, but are you advocating never learning anything outside your usual? I think the more languages you learn, the better programmer you are.

Java jobs where I am from are better than .net ones. So this sounds a little bit fishy...

Why not Read:

Joshua Bloch - Effective Java, 2nd Edition

Java and C# are mostly similar. You will get the hang of it in no time at all....
